My additions to your list:

Gas gauge accuracy

Remove and replace chrome center caps several times to see if breakage is going to occur

Great idea! I had a problem with my trunk lid liner double sided velcro that was on the earlier models. There is a kit of plastic fasteners to fix it. I picked them up at the dealer, signed off on the problem and installed them myself. I think there was a tsb on this problem.

Marc - Do you happen to have a part number for the kit? I understand that the holes are already pre-drilled in the rear deck lid.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
My decklid was not pre-drilled. My service tech drilled and installed the pins at no charge under my warranty. I did still have some problem with the upholstered part sagging and we put a few more pins into it.

Low tire sensors?__ Deck lid carpet?__ Window water seals?
Wheel Ctr cap durability?__ Gas gauge accuracy?__
extended warrantee?__

Larry:
I can't run to the phone (bad knee) to buy an extended warrantee. I could probably hobble to phone, but by the time I got there I would probably forget what I was planning to do in first place and take the money and buy Prowler Pro Gears instead??

Also, I'm going to add another one to the check list that I forgot about. At about 4,000 miles I was getting a "clunk" from the rear end from neutral to gear. Larry my Prowler tech said it's fairly common for the rear control arm support attachment bolts to become loose on these cars.

Rear Control arm support attachment bolts?__

Anything else?

And Alley Cat,
Yes, Jack the Wonder Dog will be attending all events at the Mile High Prowler Rally in June 2002. In fact, he again will be my co-pilot at the speed trials at bandemeire speedway then. Other racers will be seeing and hearing the roar of my tailpipes going down the track and will be dodging flying hair balls streaming from my cockpit!!

XOXO
Jack and Chromer.

Cat,
I'm pretty sure that all of the decklid upholstery is now the new and improved version.
While you're at the dealer, think about replacing your 1999 speaker box cover with the newer 2000 and up model. The newer cover hides all of the duct tape used on the earlier cars and also protects the top from being pinched in the decklid latching mechanism. I think it cost me about $110.00 for the new style and installation is an easy 5 minute job.
